Re: story 3 of the new APS-C flagship (PESO)

[P. J. Alling]

That's very impressive, and I understand your point.

I also see their point, and having gone partway down the path to trying 
to get a Pentax DSLR repaired out of warranty recently I can see the 
need to minimize points of failure.  I simply replaced my K-5II rather 
than getting it repaired.


By the way in it's current condition it's worth about $25.00 US, (if 
anyone's interested in it for parts they can have it for the price of 
shipping), but it could be worse the K20D is beat all to hell has a 
cracked viewfinder lens and I have to hold the SD card door closed with 
tape, but it still takes photos as good as it ever did, and it's worth 
about $6.00 US.

either they are great bargains at the moment, about half what I 
expect the new flagship to debut at. Sure you give up some battery 
life and some buffer, but what I would want a flippy screen for 
buffer and battery life are probably the least of my worries.  I also 
expect that given current sensor tech you won't see a lot of 
difference between results from them vs the new flagship.


Not having an articulated screen does have the advantage of avoiding 
another point of failure.  I'll bet that Ricoh has a lot of internal 
data showing more screen repairs on those models than on any of the 
others.

Well, as expected, the die is cast: the new flagship will have a 
fixed LCD screen.

Thanks Paul. I 've also used the flip down of the K-1 in some classical 
concerts  standing behind so not to disturb the public.

I had hoped in vain for a flagship with all features as K1(II) in APS-C 
format, to get more reach and less weight.
Here a focus stacked picture of mushrooms on my drive way taken 
yesterday, to show the need for a tilted screen.

On a wooden plate I've fitted an Arca-Swiss clamp to get stability.
